#IBM and Bon Appétit's Chef Watson app cooks up some surprising dishes Meet Chef Watson, the most versatile culinary genius around.
On Tuesday, tech giant IBM and foodie magazine Bon Appétit announced the public version of Chef Watson,
the new cognitive cooking app that brings the knowledge of the world-famous"Jeopardy"-beating supercomputer to the average household kitchen.
distinguished engineer and director of IBM Watson Life, told Foxnews. com. ood plays such a crucial role in the social and cultural fabric of our society,
when she heard about IBM and the Institute of culinary education (ICE) food truck that made a splash at the 2014 South by Southwest festival in Austin.
Over a five-day period, ICE and IBM treated passersby to dishes that were prepared using Watson database of recipes from the culinary school.
ICE and IBM published a cookbook, ognitive Cooking with Chef Watson: Recipes for Innovation from IBM & the Institute of culinary education. or Rivera, it seemed like her publication resources could make for a great match with IBM technology.
Rivera and her team reached out to IBM, and a series of articles featuring Watson recipes were released.
Rivera and Abrams said they saw potential for a more comprehensive app that could give the magazine readers direct interaction with Watson capabilities.
The computer is not replacing the human cook but instead offering the best possible options for creating unique, sometimes counterintuitive, recipes.
and how they cook. t not a computer telling you how to cook, but is instead a computer helping you cook.
There a difference, Rivera added. Rivera and Abrams said they have worked to make the app more user friendly over the past year,
#Ambitious new tech aims to revolutionize touchscreens The ambitious GHOST (Generic, Highly-Organic Shape-Changing Interfaces) research project is building technology that will let consumers use their fingertips to literally drag data out of touchscreen displays,

Researchers have worked on screens that can automatically change shape, a way to take things out of a screen into the air
and creating the so-called hoststhat you can touch and feel. How do you get the data out of the screen?
According to the researchers, GHOST is made possible by advances in deformable screens and ultrasound levitation technology.

#Big Day for Microsoft; Launched Hololens 3d headset at Windows 10 Event On Windows 10 event,
Microsoft introduced its Hololens 3d headset which can be used to interact with holographic images and allowing its users to play video games and build 3d models.
Microsoft Hololens headset was the most eye-catching thing at the event when Windows 10 was showcased,
which a major OS release from Microsoft. The company said the headset would be available around the same time that Windows 10 is released,
which is expected to be this year. Microsoft chief executive, Satya Nadella said ur industry progress is punctuated by moments of category creation.
Windows and holographic computing is one such moment. Hololens is a bit different from the virtual reality headset that has been focused by Samsung, Sony and many others.
Microsoft employee demonstrated it by designing a model of drone with the hand gesture to manipulate tools that were visible to her with the help of headset.
Microsoft did revealed not key details about the headset; including the most important question that how much it will cost.
Microsoft announced a free one-year upgrade to its users. So for the Windows users it is a good time to upgrade to Windows 10,
if they are using Windows 7 or Windows 8, 8. 1 on PC or phones. This would help Microsoft to get hundreds of millions of users running the older versions of Windows to upgrade quickly to the newest version.
Executive vice president at Microsoft Terry Myerson said indows 10 is so much more than the latest version of Windows.
Windows 10 changes the rules of the game and redefines the relationship between us and our customers.
Another good thing announced was the addition of Cortana, a sri-like software, to Windows 10 that was previously available only for Windows phone o

#New process prints electroluminescent layers directly onto three-dimensional objects Electroluminescent (EL) panels are found in many electronics applications, particularly as backlighting for LCD displays, keypads, watches,
when EL panels made from plastic are bent too sharply, fractures and a severely diminished output usually result.
As a result, EL panels have generally been restricted to flat or slightly curved surfaces. However, researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of technology (KIT) and Franz Binder Gmbh & Co have developed now a new manufacturing process to print EL panels directly onto the surface of almost any convex and concave shape.
Even apparently, onto spheres. In essence, the new technique involves printing electroluminescent layers directly onto an object without any intermediate carrier layer (the plastic material mentioned earlier.
Electroluminescent panels are a very popular way to backlight a screen, particularly as they provide an even glow across their entire face,
and EL panels have been in use in automobiles since at least 1960 when Chrysler used them in their prestige models.
Essentially the equivalent of a capacitor when used in an AC (Alternating current) circuit, EL panels encase their light-emitting material between two electrodes.
In standard panels, one electrode is generally clear glass or plastic coated with a transparent conductive coating,
In the KIT/Binder EL panel, however, the production process sees different components of the coating (specifically the electroluminescent
"Though Saarland University announced a prototype EL printing method earlier this year using ink jet-printers printers,
